With All Due Respect forcefully addresses the tension between a lawyer’s sense of obligation to pursue justice and the obstacles to that pursuit thrown up by human nature and frailty.

On the anniversary of D-Day in 1974, after joining a prestigious Wall Street law rm, Michael Cullen listens to one of his new partners expound on how the United States made a catastrophic mistake in failing to ally itself with Nazi Germany to defeat Soviet Communism. He had to wonder if one of his partners might be a Nazi sympathizer.

Cullen is forced to deal with this utterly unexpected issue as it resounds within the rm and, eventually, within his personal life. e novel peels back the sheath of respectability that cloaks the law rm and explores its institutionalized bigotry and the internal dynamics of the partners’ con icting ambitions and values. Eventually Cullen nds himself enmeshed in litigation in which he represents a client he detests.
